oh it is all so beautiful. Some day I will see it all in person... I will!I think what appeals to me is the orderliness of it all, gee I wonder why?lolI believe I told you once my PapPap Rennie adored coleus and tried to collect every variety he could find. After his passing we had cuttings we propagated for years but alas I do not know where they all ended up.

That black panther shot is terrific. It is really that deep in color? No wonder they sell out.

Oh George, give us poor single gals out here a thrill :D We all love us some blue jeaned men not afraid to get dirty..oh lord, did I just type that? I really meant as in Mike Rowe but well you thought naughty didn't you?hehe

Hi Carole, I wouldn't have thought that it is still so cold in CT. It seems to be a long winter in a lot of areas. Finally it gets a bit warmer here on the coast. The Southern part of Germany has already had lovely spring weather for a few weeks.I thought of you on your reopening day and wished for sunny weather to bring you lots of customers. Hopefully it worked :-). I don't think I've seen white lavender before. It's so pretty. The black panther is a beauty too.Have a great weekend!xoxo,Julia

Carole,what a huge green-house--and filled with so many wonderfull plants-- looking so beautifull.I just saw we can get the white lavender here,too- they are beautifull- and so are your Black Panther--I wish you much selling- and a great week-end.Hugs,Dorthe

Every year I have great expectations for my garden but I'm always left disappointed. Not sure if I need to add a mix in fertilizer or what but my plants dont seem to thrive.Love tha black panther flower! Really cool!

Hope you didn't get any snow. We had way to much but it's melting. Hopefully I can pick up some Pansies this week-end. Happy Spring, Carole!

Hi Carole! I am just swooning over that white lavender! I must have some for my garden this year. I do have some Munsted in my garden now, but it gets so woody after a couple years. Any tips on how to keep it healthy looking? :)

No...I'm a pretty patient girl...I have six kids. lol! As far as patience in the garden, I am definitely more patient there than anywhere else in my life. Mother Nature has always been right no matter how often I try to force her into my way of thinking.Your pictures are always amazing and I loved seeing your greenhouse. Youare a blessed girl Carole.sending hugs

WOW you have been busy! That is a lot of planting. I didn't know coleous and basil are in the same family. Good to know. You are always so full of useful, fun info. My favorite son-in-law cleaned my garden beds for me;) I just couldn't wait. I bought Peonies and can't wait to plant them. Soon I hope:)~Debra xxxCapers of the vintage vixens

Hi Carole!the greenhouse looks amazing! It really gets me itching to get out and get my hands in the dirt!We too have had a long winter with snow threats at every turn. I wish I was more patient...but in truth...only in the garden to I have any these days!Have a wonderful rest of the week!Hugs,Donna
